Entering Canada before school resumes

Hello everyone,

Please I will like to know how early I can enter Canada before my school resumes?

I visited my siblings in March 2022. My visitor visa is valid until 2025. I submitted a study visa application for September 2023 in November 2022, which has approved.

So I have both visitor visa and study visa. I am wondering if I can enter Canada in May 2023 (although school resumes in Sept 2023). I have no intention to work. I will be staying with my siblings and plan to enrol in a short course (less than 6 months).

Can I enter Canada in May 2023 using my visitor visa? My major concern is that my study permit may not be granted if I enter earlier?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks
